I don't like going to Alva

Final: ALVA 53, CHISHOLM 16

Over the years I have learned that when we drive to Alva for a game, more than likely we are going to lose. . .I have seen so many bad calls over the years that it isn't even funny. . .Last night was just another to add to the list of them.

Now, Alva does have a good football team don't get me wrong. . .But how do you fumble a ball after the player is already down? First few minutes of the game. . .If you look at the stats below, they had tons and tons of penalties. . .and that's only the ones that they called. . .Would you like to know what they mostly are? Hitting in the back, unsportsmanlike conduct, and facemask. . .IT WAS HORRIBLE. . .I have seen a lot of cheap shots but our whole game was filled with them and if I was seeing them - IT WAS OBVIOUS - I'm usually the one asking what happened. . .

What makes this even worse was the fact that in one play alone WE HAD 3 PLAYERS DOWN - hurt! ! ! Every time Bud got the ball I would just cringe and tell him to hurry up and get rid of it (under my breath). . .He had his bell rung a few times and one of the trainers told me to ice his elbow when we got home. . .great. . .I'll be checking that out this morning. . .

Bud had a good game and I'm not the coach, but I think our score might have been higher if we had had more of a passing game. . .but, I probably ought to watch what I say because Bud could have really been hurt too. . .

The kids that go to school there made rude, nasty comments to one of the coaches wives (they didn't know she was the coaches wife) and she had a 2 year old walking with her. . .Then she went to the concession stand (which is on the home side) and their fans asked here why she was on their side! ! I DIDN'T SPEND A PENNY ON ANYTHING THERE EXCEPT MY WAY IN THE GATE. . .They can forget that! ! ! I know that I was never happier when a game was over and it wasn't just because we lost. . .
